The Evidence for Gaza’s Genocide is So Overwhelming that Those Who Deny It Are Really Justifying It
Starmer’s Many Lies
The first thing to understand about Starmer is that he is a creature of the British Security State. It therefore follows that nothing it does, whatever democratic rights and freedoms it tramples on, can be criticised. Like the scoundrel and pound shop patriot that he is, Starmer wraps up everything in the Union Jack.
All politicians lie when they need to get out of a sticky situation. No better example of this was Boris Johnson. However even Johnson is a model of probity compared to Starmer.
MSNBC censor a video showing Israeli war crimes – the Free Press’s does its bit 2 suppress the truth
Starmer makes for a fascinating study. Not because he is an interesting individual in himself, quite the contrary. Listening to Starmer is akin to watching paint dry. What is fascinating is seeing how someone can become the walking, talking embodiment of the security state. That is the clue to Starmer’s complete absence of charisma or personality.
It is easy to laugh at Starmer but that would be a mistake, because he is certainly dangerous. He is a man who is quite happy to trigger a nuclear war if the ‘special relationship’ with the United States demands it.
Francesca Albanese on the West’s Genocide Denial
The only thing that gets Starmer animated is the story of his Corbyn supporting tool-maker father. The fact that he spent most of his first speech to Labour Party conference going on about his boring family says everything about what motivates him.
Most Labour politicians start off on the left and move to the right. Even Tony Blair was once on the soft left. Starmer however has always been on the NATO right.
Apart from his commitment to Britain’s alliance with the United States and the virtues of neo-liberal, free-market capitalism, coupled with his devotion to the Security State and the necessity of removing as many of our freedoms as possible, it is difficult to work out whether Starmer ever had any firmly held convictions.
Starmer’s Broken Promises on Tuition fees
People often point out that Starmer is a liar, which is true, but this misses the point. When Starmer says something he does it because he believes that it will give him an advantage and serve his purpose at the time. The question of whether or not it is true is secondary. In reality it is simply besides the point. It’s not that Starmer deliberately sets out to tell a lie. It’s just that whether or not something is true has no meaning for him. What Starmer says is dictated by whether he feels it is beneficial to him and his politics. Starmer lives in a world of lies and for him the truth is an alien being.
That is why it is unfair to simply call Starmer a liar when his whole political method is based on entirely different criteria. Starmer is what might be called politically autistic. The truth is irrelevant. Lying is part of his political pathology.
Starmer on cutting off food
Of course it is amusing that one minute he calls Corbyn a friend and the next minute he’s telling everyone he’ll cross the street to avoid the fellow. Or that he’s telling LBC’s Nick Ferrari that Israel ‘does have that right’ to cut off food, water etc. and the following day, following the inevitable outcry, he’s denying he ever said it. All this shows is that despite having plenty of practice, Starmer isn’t a good liar.
No better example is there than the 10 Pledges that Starmer made to get elected. Of course Starmer didn’t believe a word of them but then why should he? He knew that Labour Party members were stupid enough to believe anything he told them so he told them what they wanted to hear. Who can blame him?
Like a frozen rabbit
Starmer welcomed by Audrey White
When Audrey White confronted Starmer in Liverpool with his broken promises, such as not speaking to the Sun, he was genuinely at a loss to understand the point she was making. Surely promises are meant to be broken when they are no longer of any use. He must have thought that Audrey was inhabiting a different universe. That is why Starmer looked like a rabbit frozen in a car’s headlights. He had no answer because he genuinely didn’t understand the point that Audrey was making.
Starmer’s 4th Pledge was no more illegal wars and to put human rights at the centre of British foreign policy. Indeed he even offered to introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act as well as reviewing all UK arms sales. You may laugh but Labour Party members actually believed this codswallop so why not tell them what they wanted to hear? More fool them he must have thought.
A moment’s research or a look at Starmer’s history as Director of Public Prosecutions would have told anyone who didn’t believe in Santa Claus that Starmer was having them for a fool. But large parts of Jon Lansman’s Momentum actually believed this nonsense. Wishful thinking plays a large part in internal Labour Party politics.
When I was expelled Starmer was the first to welcome it!
On February 4 2020, two months before the Labour Party leadership elections I posted a blog ‘Keir Starmer is the candidate that the Deep State & the British Establishment want you to vote for’ I didn’t have a deep throat source within the British Establishment. I just took a look at Starmer’s record as DPP.
Things like Julian Assange, the police murder of Ian Tomlinson and Charles Menendez, his proposal to send ‘benefit cheats’ to gaol for 10 years. All this information was publicly available and even more has now become available such as his covering up for child abusers like Jimmy Saville and John Smythe. But if you want to believe in fairy tales, like most of Labour’s membership then it’s best not to look too deeply into the magic behind them.
Even when Israel does allow aid lorries in it then attacks those trying to collect the aid
In his eyes Starmer did no wrong. He said what was needed to get elected. What was wrong with that? If he wanted to get elected he couldn’t possibly tell them that he planned more wars, more attacks on civil liberties and renewed austerity.
If Labour Party members actually believed him then they deserved him as leader. Starmer has always been a state asset and it is one of the reasons why Corbyn made such a terrible leader. Even when Starmer resigned in the chicken coup Corbyn brought Starmer back into the shadow cabinet.
Starmer arguing for genocide (but only in Croatia and Bosnia) NOT in Gaza
So it’s not surprising that Starmer has gone out of his way to deny that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. Because for Starmer, the Zionist without Qualification Israel can do no wrong. Why? Because it is on ‘our’ side and ‘our’ side never does wrong.
Starmer on Srebenica’s inhuman genocide
So when we come to the holocaust in Gaza is it any wonder that Starmer doesn’t know where to turn, except to his idiot Foreign Secretary David Lammy who wouldn’t know what a genocide was if he travelled back in time to Auschwitz. A man who has inherited the slave complex and can only say ‘Yes ‘ma’sr’ to Starmer for having given him a job well beyond his talents.
It is therefore useless to confront Starmer with what’s happening in Gaza because he is incapable of seeing anything that contradicts his belief system. As far as he is concerned it all began and ended on October 7.
A list of Israel’s atrocities in Biden’s 30 days deadline which are of course ignored
When Starmer had nothing to lose and hefty fees to gain he argued in favour of there being a genocide in Vukovar and Srebenica, even though the number of dead in those genocides was about 1,100 and 8,000. But today he is Prime Minister and Britain is in an alliance with the United States. He has Senile Genocide Joe to think about, as well as his relationship with the Zionists and the Jewish Labour Movement. Israel is crucial to British and American foreign policy in the Middle East, therefore it is inconceivable that the word ‘genocide’ can emerge from his lips.
Starmer refuses to describe genocide in Gaza as genocide
It is therefore not surprising that when Starmer was put on the spot recently in the House of Commons he immediately reverted to the Israeli fiction about what happened when Palestinians broke out from Gaza prison on October 7. The fact that about 400 military died amongst the 1,139 Israelis killed is irrelevant. The fact that hundreds, possibly a majority of Israeli civilians died at the hands of the Israeli military, victims of the Mass Hannibal policy, is equally irrelevant.
First a child is injured then when people come to rescue him they are all killed
It’s not even that Starmer is deliberately ignoring what is happening to Palestinians in Gaza. He simply doesn’t see the destruction, the attacks on hospitals, the murder and torture of doctors, the sniping of children and all the rest. Palestinians are invisible as they always have been to European imperialists. Starmer stands in a long tradition of European colonialism.
Like colonial masters of old the only thing that matters is the injury to the colonial settlers. That is why October 7 matters. The estimated two hundreds thousand Palestinian dead are of no account.
Starmer’s double standards on war crimes
Of course this is equally true of the United States, Genocide Joe, Killer Kamala and Blind Blinken. Unlike Ukraine, it is not in their interests to see genocide, hence they don’t see it. Of course if what is happening in Gaza were happening in Ukraine then it would be a different matter. After all Starmer has already pronounced that Russia is committing war crimes, whilst wittering on about how politicians shouldn’t rush to judgement about Israeli war crimes.
Starmer is, in a very real sense, the personification of the amorality of the capitalist economic and political system we live in. That is why he is such a deformed human being.
Tony Greenstein
See my An Occasional Letter to an Old Friend, Sir Keith Stürmer QC
i) I am happy to see a sustained and excoriating exposé of Starmer, for whom I have a visceral contempt, and the concept of ‘moral autism’ is illuminating.
What is less pleasing however is Tony’s description of Labour Party members as’stupid’ for having been duped by Starmer’s lies
2) Tony refers to the ‘security state’ and ‘deep state’ interchangeably without ever specifying what he means by those terms.
The capitalist state has always been a repressive apparatus upholding class rule by the rich, so I would like to hear why it is necessary to depart from or revise the classic Marxist analyses of the state.
Well what would you call people who were fooled into thinking Starmer was every radical, other than stupid?
The deep state is usually taken to refer to the state within a state whereas the ‘security state’ simply describes the increasing authoritarianism of the state.
I think the capitalist state has more functions than simply upholding class rule by the rich, although of course that is one of its main purposes.
I don’t accept I am departing from the classic Marxist analysis of the state so much as deepening that analysis.
Membership of the Trilateral Commission was a pretty good clue to Starmer’s role.
But that would mean digging into Starmer’s political history – would a general public so keen to rid the UK of a Tory government go to such lengths?
There is a petition up to call for a general election so this excuse for a human being can be removed from office.

No mention of his connections to Israel, the country that seems intent on self-destruction!
Excellent as ever Tony – shared. Just a thought underneath video of bewighed sStarmer should it not say “arguing against…” or “arguing that genocide was being committed….” – itrespective the hypocrisy / cynicism/ political autism could not be more starkly illustrated – It’s quite insane
As a former officer of the Supreme Court of England and Wales I have little doubt that starmer has little or no legal qualifications. I’ve hired Counsel and Silk over the years and I wouldn’t let him anywhere near anything I dealt with. I’m of the opinion any qualifications he has have been produced by the state to position him into the office of Chief Prosecutor to get Saville off the hook and probably Andrew too. Fundamentally he’s a puppet of the state machine capable of doing anything they tell him to do. Nevertheless, the recent poll now running into millions is an indication that people are waking up.
The truth will out and history will not absolve Starmer, any more than Blair etc. etc.
I think describing Starmer as “politically autistic” betrays a lack of understanding of autism and neurodiversity in general: the autistic people I know, and there are a lot in my family, are often very committed to truth-telling, even embarrassingly so, and prepared to sacrifice themselves or attack others to insist on their perceived truth. In any case, I don’t think a condition which causes so much suffering, disability, and discrimination should be used as a metaphor to describe any sort of anti-social or sociopathic behaviour or belief system.
As for Starmer’s spectacular mendacity, I think pointing to it doesn’t ‘miss the point’. His commitment to the interests of the 1% is about believing in the right of bullies to bully: so is his solid faith in US-centred military domination, exemplified by his Zionism; he has been in charge of a purge of socialists from the Labour Party by the means of a campaign of outright bullying. In short, he is a bully and he loves to bully. There is nothing that a bully likes better than demonstrating his power to himself and others by inducing his victims to swallow his outright and manifest falsehoods and even to be forced to repeat them. Outrageous lies are part of the essential toolkit of those exerting negative power – that is, power that stems from violence rather than that which stems from care
I have a son who is autistic so I am very well aware of what autism is. I am describing the political equivalent of the disability in terms of well known traits like empathy, context etc.
An excellent explainer Tony. You are, as usual, absolutely spot on about this wretched, genocide enabling, war criminal.
